We recommend filling our 12 lb mold with a divider halfway or 3/4 to the top to allow for easier removal of the soap. Coating the divider with vaseline or mineral oil before pouring the soap will also allow for easier removal of the divider from the soap.

This listing is for the dividers only. To work properly it must be used with our 12 pound slab mold.

I first had a problem with these dividers but it was my fault, not the falt of the company. I over filled my mold and had a hard time unmolding. I contacted Nurture and they quickly resolved the issue by helping me and also re-writing the instructions on using them. These dividers and mold are of the highest quality and Nurture Soap is a wonderful company with excellent customer service. Still my favorite soap supply company!

Help

Omg, can someone give me a tip on how to unmold the bars from this insert. Fist of all, I used the recommended oz to fill the mold which was way too much. I inserted the dividers which disappeared into the soap, 24 hours later it's like concrete. No way to get the dividers away from the soap. The soap is very ready, the dividers are not. I have no idea how to unmold this soap unless I just dig it out and trash it. No instructions came with these dividers. I've struggled all day trying to get just 1 bar out to no avail. I am so upset with this purchase because I really wanted this to work. Is there anyone out there that has tips on using these? Btw...my recipe is a hard recipe, I've never had this problem unmolding my soap.

Rhonda, the oils are calculated at absolute max and without the dividers for the 12 lb liner. If using the dividers the oils would have to be reduced, since the dividers take up a substantial volume of the mold. Since the mold was overfilled and soap came above the dividers, your soap is essentially stuck. When using the dividers, you should not fill soap past the top of it as this will create a situation where the soap is very difficult to remove. Given the situation, here is what I think I would do to try and save the soap:
Trim the overflowing soap off the sides of the divider first. The sides are the first thing that will need removed. The sides will need gently pried and twisted away from the soap once the excess soap is removed. Start at one end of the side and work your way down. Do this for all four sides.
Once the sides are removed, you will work on removing the inner dividers. Use the same method by trimming away the excess and gently removing the dividers from the soap. I use a release then twist method and it seems to work well. If you can't get the soap to release, you may use a thin blade (like a sharp knife) to cut away the soap from the liner.
Another tip is to coat the dividers with a very thin layer of vaseline before use, and the dividers will slide off. Also, when using dividers, we suggest filling below the tops of the dividers to help soap unmold more easily. Pouring over the top of the dividers will make them very difficult to remove.

Love these items!

I love the 15 bar mold divider set so much that I ordered an additional set. Soap is easy to remove and has a smooth appearance. It does take some practice on unmolding the soap, but, once you get the hang of it is super easy. The bars are huge so I cut them in half and make thirty bars at one time which is a huge time-saving plus. Nuture Soap, as always, delivered my order very quickly and also includes a little bonus surprise tucked in my package. Highly recommend this company.

The bars are just too small.

Well....OK. So, I'm not as happy with these dividers as others are. First, the slab mold itself is fabulous! And the dividers are high quality and easy to assemble. Here are my 2 issues: First, the 4 side pieces are unnecessary. They just take up space in the mold and make putting the dividers in after pouring more fidgety. I have a slab molds from 2 other suppliers. Both have divider sets without the frame pieces. They drop right in after pouring and stay put. So, I would suggest that Nurture Soap ditch the side pieces and make the set a little cheaper. Second, my real problem with these dividers: They make tiny soaps!! Yes, if you want a chunky soap, these dividers will give you that. But if you are doing intricate marble designs (peacock, double helix, mantra marbles) or even just a simple Taiwan or linear swirl, these dividers make no sense. To me, the whole point of a slab mold is that all the design drama is on the top face of the soap. So you want a large, shallow bar, not a small deep bar. Ideally, the dividers should make a bar 3.5" long x 2.5" wide x 1" deep, or even 3.75" x 2.75". Actually, if you ditched the side pieces, and made a set of dividers that produced 12 bars instead of 15, you would have the perfect size soap bar for a slab mold. And that is exactly what a friend of mine is doing for me, making a new set of dividers for this fabulous slab mold.
